Private Geek Dinner in Canberra
...to arrange the public geek dinner. No really! That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
...
OK, so I got a phone call from Darren Neimke last night, letting me know that some of the Readify guys were meeting up for dinner tonight and asking if I wanted to come. Well, sure! So tonight we had dinner - at the same place as the last Canberra geek dinner was held (the open invite one, not one of the other Readify dinners :)
Along with myself and Darren, there were the other Canberra Readify guys Grant and Rocky (Mitch was conspicuously absent...I'm guessing he was interstate, but I forgot to ask). Also, Greg Low and the Glav were in town, so I was a bit of an odd guy out - although I if there were any inside jokes going on, they covered them up so well that I never even noticed :)
We chatted many things, although what I remember is all the funny airline stories - especially from Greg (100 flights this year when he flies home again on Friday!).
Darren and I chatted about getting the next proper geek dinner organised (which was when we came up with the excuse for not inviting anyone else tonight :) and we went through our calendars. The next two weeks is kinda short notice. After that we've got the launch stuff. After that it's getting time to when I head up north to Brisbane for Christmas (sheeet, is it getting that close already?). And so...
I'd like to announce the next Geek Dinner for Canberra.
January some time.
Honest!
Come one, come all, keep watching (probably sometime in January) for more details.
